It probably is. There are many like you--people who send gifts even if they don't go and people play up to that. The more announcements go out, the more checks come in. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what that's about. The other option is what my mother did--she was so excited I was graduating (on time at that) that she told the world. My degree=her bragging rights. I paid for those things with my own money and barely got to keep one for myself because, by the time I found out they'd arrived, my mom had addressed and mailed them to Jim, James, Paul, and Tyrone.
